28m here. I’ve taken the red pill. I understand female nature. But to be honest, I think it’s taking awhile to be fully absorbed. Here’s why.

I was Mr. Fucking Beta without knowing it for basically all my life. Women would find me attractive so if I didn’t put my foot in my mouth, pussy would drop in my lap without much game needed to keep it there.

However, keeping girls interested is where all handsome betas flop.

I recognized that after losing a HB9.5 who told me some of the beta traits I was putting out and that led me to the red pill.

With that said, the ability to make a connection, laugh, goof around, text all day and still be charming with my girl (basically get her wrapped up) was MUCH easier as a beta. I was simply more active, but completely indifferent to a greater sense of purpose outside of chasing pussy.

After taking the red pill I realized how much of a man I wasn’t, and started focusing on myself and embracing solitude and personal development.

I got off dating apps, started lifting, focusing on my purpose, and can approach girls at a bar (after a few drinks) and be confident enough to get the number. However, I don’t text unless it’s to make plans, and if I fucked the girl, I won’t say a word until the following week. In person, I’m a bit more reserved because I’m repressing beta tendencies to be a goofball so I can feel stiff around hotter chicks.

I drop girls and move on if I don’t hear from them, and I put the ball in their court to reach out to me in most cases.

All and all I feel more passive. Is this normal? Or are you more active with women even after taking the red pill.

Can’t go back to BP and wouldn’t want to but wondering if this feeling is normal.

TLDR: I feel more passive in pursuing and connecting with women after taking the red pill.
